Prepare, Escape, Hide, Defend
The "Secret Sauce" Behind Our Training Programs
Our training is built around four main actions that can help ANYONE prevent and survive an active shooter situation:

Prepare: Proper preparation is THE essential component of your active shooter plan and one that is often overlooked. Our active shooter prevention programs provide you with methods to prevent an active shooter situation from taking place, as well as proven response options once an attack as begun. Important concepts such as situational awareness, indicator behaviors, and active planning are all included in learning how to be prepared for an active shooter in the workplace.
Escape: Escaping may seem like a straight-forward concept, but it is actually much more complicated than simply “runing away”. How you escape will be influenced by factors such as the type of weapon being used against you, the location of the threat (danger close vs. danger far), current environmental factors, available items that can provide cover, and more. Equally important is to learn how to assess if escaping is even a safe and available response option for you.


Hide: Escaping may not be a viable option in a life-threatening critical event. If escaping isn't an option for you or the people around you, your next course of action is to identify a space that can be effectively barricaded and seclude yourself from the threat. Hiding under a desk and hoping is not a plan. Neither is haphazardly throwing chairs up against a door! Our course will teach you how to properly barricade during a life-threatening situation so that you can wait for an opportunity to escape or stop the attacker.
Defend: During an active shooter situation, you might think you have a slim chance of standing up to someone with a firearm, but there are ways you can gain the advantage during this type of attack and even neutralize the attacker. Trident Shield instructors will provide you and your employees with information about how to defend yourself and others from an attacker if the need arises. You can use the tactics we'll teach you to ambush and even disarm the assailant, saving as many lives as possible.

Hide: If escaping isn’t currently an option for you or the people around you, your next course of action is to find a place to safely hide from the threat. Hiding is so much more than sitting under a desk or stacking chairs against the door!

Understanding Our Training Philosophy
Avoid Violence Where Possible, Respond To It When Necessary
It is important to understand that in the event of an active shooter, YOU will be the true First Responder! Our Active Assailant Readiness Training is uniquely designed to help people feel empowered to take appropriate and decisive action during a life-threatening situation. What sets our programs apart from other active shooter training classes is that we put protecting you and your people first. While most training programs use fear tactics that serve only to further unnerve trainees, we take an approach that helps build confidence and morale. Self-defense and the defense of others can be an essential skill in almost any situation, so our goal is to give people the depth of knowledge that makes them feel safe during their workday and in their personal lives. Our blend of live and online active shooter training programs makes it easy for organizations to train their employees annually and upon hiring, ensuring that every person receives the protection they deserve.

Expertise, Empathy, And Sustainability
At Trident Shield, we offer professional safety training programs for a variety of industries, as we know different clients have varying needs and limitations. Three of our main safety solutions available for professional environments include in-person active shooter training, online active shooter training, and live, remote webinars. Each type of training will make sure you and your employees have all the valuable working knowledge you need to create a safer, happier workspace. These training mediums will create the foundation of your organization’s active shooter response plan, ensuring that everyone knows what to do during an emergency.
